        @NecroCorey As far as I am aware, there is no way to do that as it'd require a change to the source code.

          @synack Ok thanks a ton you were crazy helpful. I must have misunderstood one of those guides I read. I thought if I played a long enough video it would go right to the main menu.

          If there's a way to mark this 'solved' I don't know how to do it but this is super solved.

            @NecroCorey I believe that behavior (playing the video while the ES system loads) does work with some people's setups, but not all -- including my own. I'm not exactly sure of the details there.

            My suggestion was mainly to address the issue you were having with the "screen going screwy" :-)

              @synack I think another solution was to remove the layer setting (-b 10000 part)from the OMX call but is been a while since I've messed with it. There's probably a reference to it somewhere else on the forum

                @synack hi, I had the same problem as well and tried this and it worked but will not boot into emulation station after. After the word "done" is there just a space or should there be something else?

                    Sorry to bumb the topic, but I followed the instructions and what it does now, is that it won't start the EmulationStation automatically. After the video, it just shows the command console after logging in and I have to manully start the ES everytime.

                    Edit: It was not specified in the second post, that do I need to put those commands into different lines or do I have to keep them on the same line, but put the new one before the ES one ?

                    My soul rests, when I hear the PS1 boot music

                      @dd-indeed Add an & symbol. like this.

                      sudo nano /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh

                      while pgrep omxplayer >/dev/null;
                      do sleep 1;
                      done &
                      emulationstation #auto

                      ctrl+ x

                      Y

                      enter

                      sudo reboot now

                        i am also having the same issue.

                        im on emulation station v2.6.3RP
                        retropie set up script 4.2.22

                        i placed the files within the retropie folder/ splashscreen / comicbook splash using cyberduck (the same way i place everything else and no other issues)

                        and activating via retropie -> splashscreens -> own/extra -> select comicbook splash.

                        here a youtube link to the issue in action

                        sorry about the air conditioner, and audio

                          Instead of adding "&", add ";" as in:

                          while pgrep omxplayer >/dev/null; do sleep 1; done;
                          emulationstation #auto

                          This worked for me.

                            @skoufix Thanks, the fixes above did not work for me but yours did. I'm glad to finally get rid of the startup glitch.
